UPDATE – March 2021: The Town of The Blue Mountains has scheduled a Virtual Public Open House for March 24, 2021, to obtain public input on how trees should be protected in the Town. This is a joint Virtual Open House with the County of Grey, as the County is also considering updates to the current County Forest Management By-law 4341-06.
The intent of the Virtual Open House is to provide the public with information regarding the existing regulations on tree cutting and forestry management in the Municipality. Town and County Staff will gather public input and comment received at the Public Open House which will help to guide the scope and direction of any future changes to each respective By-law. More information, including a public survey, will be posted to this project page for public review approximately one week in advance of the Virtual Public Open House. Questions and comments are encouraged to be submitted in advance so that additional information, as may be required, can be provided at the Virtual Public Open House. Please refer to the Notice of Public Open House for information about how to pre-register to attend the Open House and/or to submit questions and comments.
